FFL 2010 Season Opener, Pt. 1

Never before seen footage!



Pt. 2--with over 10 minutes of additional footage--coming tomorrow!

FFL MVPs

A brief look back at the MVPs of the Fryberger Football League:

2007-2008: Jon Benson


















In the early years of the FFL, there was no more dominant force than that of Jon Benson. Often deemed the "Randy Moss" of the league, the lanky, ultra-fast receiver simply could not be covered, also serving as a dominant quarterback, pass-rusher, and return specialist. With the advent of such similar "titans" as Brett Pearson and Mitch Williams, Benson's abilities were rendered more common, but even then, the FFL legend continues to command the field, growing wiser with each passing year.

2009: Aaron Potvien


















FFL posterboy Aaron "A-POT" Potvien came onto the scene in late '08, but didn't break out until 2009, when the all-star TE hauled in an unfathomable number of touchdown catches. During that campaign, the phrase "Aaron" became used as a decoy, only to have him thrown to anyway--a trick within a trick if there ever was one. By 2010, Potvien's output had slowed as he was shut out in the opener by Pat Fryberger, but the memory of "A-POT" lives on to this day, with "Aaron" sending shivers down defensive backfields everywhere.

2010: Mitch Williams
















"Unblockable" doesn't even begin to describe the 6'8 monstrosity that is Mitch Williams. Feared on both sides of the ball, Williams out-blocked, out-jumped, and even sometimes out-ran the competition, being the first player drafted game in and game out. For a stretch, the rookie sensation was simply unstoppable, even if by season's end his raw talent had been at least somewhat corralled. In the end, the sky's the limit for Williams, literally--as he's the tallest player ever to play in the league.
